Professor Carl Lipo, Anthropology, CSULB

Professor Carl Lipo

Dr. Lipo’s research focuses on the use of evolutionary theory to generate scientific explanations about human cultural change in the archaeological record. His recent studies include the development of theoretical models and the construction of methods for studying patterns of change caused by cultural transmission and the process of natural selection in cultural systems. He also researchers methods in remote sensing to efficiently and non-destructively study the record. This work includes the use of aerial imagery, satellite imagery, magnetometry, resistivity, conductivity, thermal imagery and ground penetrating radar.

Professor Matt Becker, Department of Geological Sciences, CSULB

Professor Becker is the Conrey Endowed Chair of Hydrogeology. My backgrounds are in Geology and Engineering and I tend to favor experimental field work. I have spent most of my time working in bedrock systems, trying to understand how water, heat, and contaminants move through these systems. I have also done some remote sensing of groundwater (I spent a year at NASA) and always end up doing a fair amount of transport theory to understand what I see in the field. This is an exciting time to be a hydrologist because out capability to collect data is exploding. I have some experience with ground penetrating radar and fiber optic distributed temperature system.
